You kinda lost me there lol, do you mean like the ohms and voltage that my mod is putting out?
PG is propylene glycol and VG is vegetable glycerine. They are the base ingredients for e-juice. Which brand of e-juice are you currently using? If it doesn't say what ration those two bases are then we can help you look it up.

PG = Propylene Glycol

It is a flavor carrier and has a sharper throat hit. Its much thinner and wicks very easily but its a bit harsher on the lungs and throat.

VG = Vegetable Glycerin

Softer on the lungs and throat, what produces the clouds, a bit sweet by nature doesn't carry flavor as well as PG so "steeping" is generally a good idea.

PG and VG are two of the most prominent ingredients in your juice. The balance between them is called the PG/VG ratio. With higher VG you will get bigger clouds and a smoother vape, with higher PG less clouds and more flavor.

PG and VG are the base ingredients in e-juice. VG is thicker and has a harder time finding its way from your tank to the coil. If your high in VG then your coil might wick more slowly and you will find yourself getting those burnt hits. Which brand of e-juice do you use?
well I guess its called monkeyvapes they have a website called monkeyvapes.com

Hi Holyangemon! He was referring to the mixture in ejuice. VG = Vegetable Glycol & PG = Propylene glycol. The VG is a thicker liquid and creates more 'clouds' while the PG is a more thin liquid that carries flavor and the 'throat hit' (from what I have learned so far).

Most ejuices are a 50/50 mix and not really thick. I like the 70/30 mixes personally (VG/PG)

Hello and welcome to the forum @Holyangemon. Glad to have you here!:)

"Pin hole" sized air holes really limits you.

Consider adding an airflow control valve to your Protank 3 and things will improve.
Kanger Airflow Control Valve

+1 to Susan (as usual.)

My Protanks-- I no longer use them, in fact I think I recently sold my last one-- needed these adaptations to make them work. I had the V1 as that was all that was available at the time. Then I found the Kanger Aerotank, which is basically a Protank with one of these built onto the bottom of it, and all was well. Heck, beautiful, never mind well. And welcome to the board.

Ive been all over the site and I can't find it
I guess you're right I could always go over there and ask them
You could just email the from their site too. If you aren't allergic to PG then its just good FYI to determine how your tank might handle it. Otherwise, if priming and the air flow control base works then no need to stop what you are doing if it works for you.

I still have about 8 Protanks w/airflow valves plus a bunch of ego's, MVP v2's and iStick 20 watts that I would like to PIF to someone in Egypt/Singapore as they have such a hard time getting vape gear. But until they have someone in the States going to visit them there is no way to get this stuff through their customs (by airmail).

Sad, but true.
